  Favorite Cuddy - 1999 Oldsmobile Cutlass
  By TerryMO - December 6 - 6:10 pm

  I bought this car from the original owner back in June. It already had 172,000+ on the odometer. The car was having trouble with water pouring into the crank case. Turned out the water passages in the lower intake manifold had blown. Was able to get both intake gaskets and valve cover gaskets for only $50. Plus went ahead and put a new timing chain and cam and crank gears just to further its life. Of course with a new timing chain cover gasket, I spent under $120 on parts and the car runs amazing. There does seem to be some rotor wear but not too major. My gas mileage is more like 30 highway, 21 with the AC on and about 22 in town travel. Its extremely reliable which is important to anyone

  My Cutlass has 126k miles and runs great. Major work done: broken coil spring, breaks, and catalytic converter.

  My new car - 1999 Oldsmobile Cutlass
  By richardwvu - October 8 - 2:00 am

  Car received had numerous quality problems including noisy front brakes, a loud buzzing fuel pump, a rattling dash board, and a noisy passenger air bag cover. There is little excuse to deliver such a vehicle to a customer. What does a manufacturer and dealership think?

  By Garrett - June 13 - 4:43 pm

  When I bought my Cutlass, it had 170,000 miles on it. It already had the intake and head gasket changed, a few brake services, a transmission service, and a general tune up. After buying it, I replaced the intake gasket again, gave it a full tune up, new brakes and rotors, and new tires. After the engine was in proper working condition, it performs very nicely and if you are easy on the accelerator, the gas mileage is around 25 mpg. The leather in the front seats is cracked and needs some serious attention. The cup holders are basically unusable. The drinks tip over at the slightest acceleration or braking. I am impressed with the massive trunk space. You need to be a good mechanic to to own this car.

  I have a 99 cutlass GL. I use it mainly for work. I have 47,000 miles on her and she runs great. Other than standard maintenence, (oil, lube, filter) she has had no down time. too bad 99 was the last year for the car.

  Car is fast and fun to drive. Still no problem with engine. A car will last longer if you take care of it. Giving it a oil change and a complete service.

  Computer False Problems - 1999 Oldsmobile Cutlass
  By mike - June 19 - 8:46 am

  The car has gone through brakes very quickly two sets and only 53K miles. The two big issues were: 1. The coolant problem gm would not own up too and cost me Major head work $2k 2. Now I am getting false engine warning lights, replace O2 sensor and gas cap, still getting intermittent codes, other warning lights are the charging system which is working at 13.5-14 volts, I am getting a security system light, the power Windows are working intermittently. Anyone know what the heck is going on, I am thinking the computer is on its way out.

  09/00 new brakes $395. 1 yr later replaced alternator. Brake/rotar job 10/01 $454. Battery caught fire 08/01. Front brakes constantly make rubbing sound. Tune up and injectors cleaned $699 08/01. Front end is rough. This is a high maintenance car. Inside is comfortable and roomy. I like the design. The build quality and mechanical reliabilty is not good. Bought the car with 23000 mi on it for my 14 year old daughter. She will be 16 in next few weeks but we are shopping for a different vehicle. I simply dont want her out in this one because it is truly undependable.

  A Competent Car but no Camry - 1999 Oldsmobile Cutlass
  By Stratman - October 4 - 6:50 am

  Purchased new in 1998 by my dad and passed down to me in 2001 - have driven about 90 k miles since then. Tried to convince him to buy Camry but he was a solid GM customer. The best thing I did was to replace the Firestone OEM Affinity tires -- first with Affinity LH30s and later with Yokohama Avid TRZs which were even better. They dramatically improved the ride and handling. After 108k, the car is still solid with no rattles which surprised me for an American car (Ive always owned Japanese or German cars.
